Update

I don't know what my deal has been. But I have been horrible with computer stuff recently. Maybe it's my recent obsession with crafts...I don't know. Here is what we've been up to the last few weeks. Warning: most of these pictures were taken with my camera phone so they're not the best. Warning #2: It's been a while since I've posted so there are LOTS of pictures on this post.

I went in with 6 other girls from our stake with kids about Kirsten's age for preschool. So once every 7 weeks I have to...I mean get to teach.
One day while the kids were at our house I let them decorate a haunted house.


Here's how it turned out.


Whenever I go to the park during the week with the kids. I usually just keep Colton in the stroller because I don't want to chase him around. I was feeling kind of bad about that. So,
one day while Kirsten was at school I decided to take Colton to the park. He had so much fun.


He was a little nervous to go down this steep slide by himself. So it took him a while to let go.


Colton is kind of a crazy kid. The ladies that watch him at the gym had to make an accident report when he fell down last week and hit his head on the table. The first line of the report was, "Colton is a very active child." That may even be an understatement.




Kirsten has been loving ballet. At the end of class they get to play freeze dance.


Colton gets to join them for that.


This is mostly what he's doing while his sister is in ballet.


We go to the park every Wednesday for playgroup. Last Wednesday was a lot colder than I had anticipated so Colton was forced to wear his sister's girly jacket.


Friday night we decided to check out the drive-in theater. We went and saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Which was a super cute movie. We were teasing Colton that if he kept shoveling food into his mouth he was going to look like the mayor in the end of that movie (if you've seen it you know what I mean). Colton sat in the back and actually watched most of the movie. I think it may have been a little over Kirsten's head.


Yesterday the library had a little Halloween party. Kirsten's dressing up like Little BO Peep. I still haven't finished Colton's sheep costume.




Colton kept hoarding all of the bean bags...


So he could go and try to throw them in this.


In the middle of August this family moved into our ward. It's no secret that I haven't totally loved it here, but Danie has made it so much better. They have a little girl, Brighton, who is a year younger than Kirsten, and a son Porter, who is 6 months younger than Colton. They are seriously an answer to my prayers! Here's Kirsten and Brighton playing dress up.


Ok, so this is random, but did anyone watch the Bachelorette this year? Well, if not there was this super jerky guy named Wes who was in a band and was basically just on the show for publicity. Well, when I drove by this sign yesterday, I have to say it warmed my heart to know that this was as far as he had made it in his music career.
